High Desert Conservation Corps - AmeriCorps Summer Associate
 
 
 
Come join our crew! Heart of Oregon Corps’ High Desert Conservation Corps (HDCC) program serves local young people ages 17-24 throughout Central Oregon, and improves over 1,000 acres of public lands a year. Crews of 7-8 local young people, a Land Stewardship Trainer, and a Staff Crew Leader serve mostly outdoors on natural resource conservation projects. Crews complete a wide range of conservation projects, such as fire fuels reduction, fencing (enclosure/inclosure), habitat restoration, invasive species management, and hiking/biking trail maintenance, among others. Project partners include the Deschutes and Ochoco US Forest Service, Prineville BLM District, and Bend Parks & Rec, among many others! This is a 9-week term, serving a minimum of 300 hours. Members will conserve, restore, and enhance the natural resources and beautify communities of Central Oregon through hands-on conservation projects. They will protect communities from wildfire through fire fuels reduction; gain experience and formal training in environmental stewardship, conservation and landscaping, while also exploring career opportunities and developing essential employability skills. Members will learn to promote community service through hands-on experience and community projects. By the end of their term, members will have contributed to the betterment of public lands and local communities of Central Oregon; be better prepared for future careers, and obtain an AmeriCorps Segal Education Award.
